PARKTOWN – The South African Police Service (SAPS) in Gauteng views opening of false cases in a serious light as it has an impact on state resources which should be directed to real emergencies.<\/p>\n
Members of Mamelodi Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences (FCS) unit arrested a 57-year-old woman in Mamelodi West on Thursday, 16 February 2023 for perjury.<\/p>\n
According to a preliminary report the woman allegedly forced her 11-year-old niece to open a false rape against her stepfather in 2021. The stepfather was then arrested and appeared before court.<\/p>\n
However, further investigation revealed that the niece was influenced by her aunt to falsely accuse her stepfather of raping her.<\/p>\n
Investigation concluded and the aunt was subsequently arrested yesterday and expected to appear before the Mamelodi Magistrates’ Court soon.<\/p>\n
Community members are urged to refrain from opening false cases at police stations. Perjury is a criminal offence which is punishable by law.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
